The Environment
As a leader in the LTL (less-than-truckload) industry, we know how important it is to minimize our impact on the environment. That’s why we have initiated a number of conservation measures to reduce the amount of energy we use on a daily basis. We have also teamed up with other leading organizations to develop green technologies that will help to ensure that our trucks and offices operate as efficiently as possible.Solar-Powered Service Centers
Teaming up with BP, FedEx Freight installed solar-electric systems in two of our service centers in California. Combined, these systems are expected to reduce annual CO2 emissions by 610 metric tons, or the equivalent of over 69,000 gallons of gasoline.* Read the Press ReleaseFuel Economy Improvements
FedEx Freight has also teamed up with the EPA SmartWay Transportation Initiative to seek fuel economy improvements and greenhouse gas emission reductions through the testing and deployment of fleet technologies. These include aerodynamic improvements, wide-base tires, automated manual transmissions and numerous other technologies.Energy Efficient Lighting
FedEx Freight has worked in conjunction with the EnergyStar “Change the World” program to install energy efficient lighting in our administrative offices and service centers across the country, including innovative LED lighting systems and compact fluorescent bulbs.Energy Watch
FedEx Freight developed an internal employee education program, Energy Watch, to increase awareness about environmental concerns in the workplace. Energy Watch has helped employees learn about recycling efforts and energy consumption reduction strategies that have helped to reduce costs and eliminate unnecessary waste in our facilities.*Data derived from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.
